If you just read my review of Wiz Khalifa's "Rolling Papers" and are afraid the album just robbed you of hip-hop's last breath of fresh air, please continue reading if you have any hope of not suffocating among the garbage that makes up the hip-hop and rap scene today.
Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, or OFWGKTA, is taking the music scene by storm and it's hard to pinpoint exactly why.
Their lyrics are dark and disturbing and certainly not for the faint of heart. Their beats are a controlled chaos that invoke feelings of confusion and uneasiness. But with the confusion comes a spark of curiosity that makes you keep listening.
They are like a car crash you can't help but look at except you want to make the scene your desktop picture and look at it over and over again.
Right now they have only released mixtapes, which can be downloaded on the Internet for free. Yes – free, because unlike just saying they don't make music purely for the money, OFWGTKA actually shows it and their "We don't care what people think we're going to do what we want, how we want" attitude is refreshingly believable.
OFWGKTA isn't for everyone, and viewer discretion is most certainly advised. But if you really want to hear something different, I say throw discretion out the door and check them out. You're either going to love them or hate them. Either way I can assure you they don't really care.
